John Deere Revival

I bought this John Deere 430 from a gentleman in Pennsylvania. It had been sitting for 10-20 years and in quite rough shape as can be seen. After a winter’s worth of work I managed to make it look quite different. I’m a retired coal miner and former farmer. I had owned one of these many years ago.  I enjoyed the challenge,  although it was quite an undertaking.
